I'm not exactly happy about this, though it is JERIC's call. I think Purple Rain is a film soundtrack and belongs here. I know it falls into the "musical grey area," but I still think it should be here. Yes, we all worship score, but songs can be a vital part of a soundtrack as well, and some are just downright essential. I speak of Top Gun, for instance. Some of those songs are just so identified with the movie, how could you not have them on a soundtrack site?

Ah, I'm rambling. I don't know why the loss of Purple Rain has upset me so, I don't like it that much. Maybe I worry that anything with words will eventually be banned from this site. Can a song exist on both? Because "Original Sin," from the soundtrack for The Shadow, should also be on 80s.

I love the Top Gun soundtrack. I would most definitely hate to see it go. I worry that there will be new people that look for this stuff and get disappointed at it's absence. I do trust JERIC and his opinion. I'm sure he will do what he feels is best for SST._________________I do not wake up with thoughts of control and rebellion, but thoughts of purpose and righteousness and the empowerment to fulfill those convictions that define me.

The 2 star rating for purple rain also had a influence on my decision and the fact that it played way to often.

I'm a 80s (and 70s) guy, but I agree with JERIC in his decision. While 80s songs are Simply Fabulous, they are off-message for SST..._________________03 Feb 10 - 18:21:14 > taryn: LD Yes mooooood music Cool
